I had each of the girls go to their rooms and find 6 different shoes. We then had to classify them into Kingdoms, Phyla, Class and then Order. They had a blast doing this and also realized how much work it is. We then wrote several of these shoe names in Binomial Nomenclature.
We started Story of the World today and they absolutely LOVED it. It is amazingly written and I can see the wheels turning in their brain as I read. There are lots of fun discussion questions and activities for each lesson to help them really retain all of the information. I am so glad that we chose this. They learned about how history became history and that is not only through written books and journals but through archaeology.
In remembrance of those lost on September 11th, we did Patriot Day books and wrote a letter to a soldier in the Navy who is the son of a very special homeschooling family that has helped us a lot with our journey.
Downtime was spent reading our novels and doing our handwriting and Grammar books of course but tomorrow is test day! We will have our first Math, Grammar, and Vocab tests before heading off to our first field trip at the Library for Discovery Club! Discovery Club meets monthly and covers a different subject each month. This month is fire prevention and safety and how to develop a safety plan.
